The Mystery Of Easter Island

The BBC Horizon's 2003 take on the story of Easter Island, fifteen years after their original two part series. Who were the original islanders and where did they come from? How did they make the statues, carry them across the land and raise them into position? What is the story behind the mysterious bird cult? And ultimately, what happened to the thousands of people that lived there? http://youtu.be/P-bVu_FiJ50
